I didn't realize STI was making $800 guns.
It's a Spartan, which is their low end model. I bought a competition version from Dawson Precision. The more expensive STIs are manufactured in Texas; the Spartan is manufactured in the Philippines and quality checked in Texas. I figured I'd save myself a little money by getting that instead of the Trojan, which ran about $300 more, but it was a mistake. Had feeding and ejecting issues right out of the box. Needless to say I was pissed.

After $300 worth of gunsmithing work it's awesome now, but in hindsight I should have paid the extra money up front and got the Trojan instead.
